Ingredients

  • 200 g new potatoes
  • 200 g green beans ends trimmed
  • 200 g borlotti beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 100 g cherry tomatoes halved
  • 10 g parsley diced
  • 10 g basil diced
  • 2 tablespoon pesto
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 hard boiled eggs

Method

  1. Wash and halve the new potatoes, then boil for 10 minutes until soft and cooked through. Add the green beans to the pan 2-3 minutes before you drain the potatoes to cook them, too.
    200 g new potatoes
  2. Drain the pot and give it a gentle shake with the lid on to slightly rough up the edges of the potatoes (this helps them absorb the dressing more!)
  3. Meanwhile, hard-boil the eggs for 10 minutes, then place in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and prevent the yolk from greying. Peel and halve the eggs.
    3 hard boiled eggs
  4. Add the potatoes and green beans to a serving plate and add the red onion, borlotti beans, cherry tomatoes, capers, and fresh herbs.
    200 g green beans, 200 g borlotti beans, 1 small red onion, 1 tbsp capers, 100 g cherry tomatoes, 10 g parsley, 10 g basil
  5. Drizzle over the pesto, extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, vinegar, and lemon juice, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently mix the salad to coat all the ingredients in the dressing.
    2 tbsp pesto, 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp white wine vinegar, 1 tsp dried oregano, Salt and pepper, ½ lemon
  6. Nestle the halved hard-boiled eggs into the salad and add any more seasonings or dressings needed.
